The support-gang wrote this page for the G1G1 community, as the page history shows. In any case, I don't see why it's worthwhile to think of these two problems as remotely comparable: 1) no-one has yet decided to help deployments by spending five minutes writing an activity that downloads a build onto a USB stick plugged into an XO, but anyone could do it at any time, including someone who is a user in a deployment. 2) it is nowhere near possible to properly edit Flash content in a GUI on an XO because the software to do so does not exist, and suffers from a complex and underspecified set of compatibility requirements. - Chris. -- Chris Ball <c...@laptop.org> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
